OK folks. Listen here. I have some news I'm sure everyone will be excited to hear. I'm being told that the one and only Electrical Parade may make its way back to Disneyland towards the end of this year. It will return as Disney's ELP while Shanghai opens cause I think that's where it is heading to next. I've posted legit news way before anyone else before but still take this with a grain of salt. I like many of you hope this is true. That is all for now. My source is Chuck Norris in case someone asks.

If this is true. You will be the king of all news and no one would ever top it. Just remember, I know where you live if its not true. Just sayin' - Armenda

But why does it have to leave ever again? - Villescas8

Give it back to us, they can get their own! - ShariRenee 5632.1 #15 6:07PM

that's what i said when i read the shanghai part :/ - rbeezy 703.0 #239 6:31PM

For the amount it costs to ship an entire parade from Florida to Anaheim, and then to Shanghai, I"m guessing it would be as much as building a new one for them. Hands off, Shanghai!! - MissMolly 1280.3 #113 8:47PM

Oh, I hope it's true!! That's my favorite parade of all time!! I agree, it should stay here where it belongs!! Shanghi can get there own!!! I won't let it go this time!!! - Superspacemountainfan

In DCA is better than nothing, but it's not even close to the same as having it at DL. Not. Even. Close. - Mimmy 1442.3 #96 11:08PM

It's not the same at DCA!!! Bring it back to where it belongs!!!!! - caramiapoohAKAface 3530.1 #31 11:08PM

It can't run on the DCA route because of the Red Car Trolly cables. Also, it won't return as the "Main Street Electrical Parade", because that was retired, but as "Disney's Electrical Parade" instead. - dlmickeymouseCM 2404.5 #47 11:11PM

When they brought it back to DCA and it said "Disney's Electrical Parade", it sounded sooooo weird!!!! 😟🙉🙉 - caramiapoohAKAface 3530.1 #31 11:19PM

The announcement might still say Disneyland, but the official name probably won't change. - dlmickeymouseCM 2404.5 #47 11:21PM

^^^plus, they didn't have all the same characters. The PI boys weren't in the DCA version, for one. And various other missing things too! 😡 - Mimmy 1442.3 #96 11:22PM

I heard that rumor too but I know someone who works at DCA and she asked her manager who's been working there for more than 25 years and said and I quote "no no no it's not coming back at all that rumor has been going on for a while now but no it's not coming back" sorry for those who I crushed their dreams :( - KladiaDisneyNinja 266.8 #1111 11:24PM

Coming to DL first then DCA is what I was told today. - RickChavez 3415.0 #33 11:25PM

I work at DCA and talked with entertainment today. If it comes, it's not touching DCA. The route can't have it, literally. - dlmickeymouseCM 2404.5 #47 11:27PM

As it is, we had to get rid of two very awesome Pixar floats because of their height. - dlmickeymouseCM 2404.5 #47 11:33PM

This would make my families year!! My boys are always wishing it was back. My daughter wasn't old enough to remember it the last time she got to see it right before it left us. I would park my behind on the parade route every day if I could if it came back! - Autoalice

This has been reported several times before this post and they are supposed to be taking the ELP from Tokyo to Shanghai not the one here - Dave
12328.4 #2 11:53PM

Yeah but first I've heard of this year. Only other rumor I've heard was here for Disneyland's 60th. Tokyo to Shanghai makes more sense so maybe was a misunderstanding. - RickChavez 3415.0 #33 12:10AM

TDA is having an issue with this logically because of the crowds and how to get two parades in one night and the fireworks and do crowd control. Disneyland has not had a nighttime parade in a long time and the crowds are so busy now that it might be too tough to do for the traditional 845 and 1030 parades up and down main street. I hope they can pull it off and know that they can its just going to be a balancing act and trying to balance the entertainment and drive to DCA vs DLand to make sure it equals its self out...When this does happen look out for more and more blackout days for APs and even the possibility of blackout days for one park and not the others for new APs - Dave 12328.4 #2 12:23AM

This is literally the best news...hopefully everything works out and it comes back to California where it belongs! - ekwhite
472.3 #403 11:57PM

it still is, the parade is supposed to go down for a major refurbishment and new/old floats added for the 60th so DCA is also going to be redoing WOC as well and changing it up not just for the upcoming movies but for different shows all around and want to keep it new to have both AP holders and tourists to flock to see the changes...Another added feature they want to do is have more pyrotechnics with the show such as fireworks like in fantasmic.....should be a fun next year plus to see how everything pans out - Dave 12328.4 #2 12:58AM

Ah yes that was another thing I was told today on WOC. Getting a major refurb. They are draining all of the lagoon to work on it and adding a platform of some sort. - RickChavez 3415.0 #33 1:02AM

it has not been drained since WOC opened and t still wont happen this year in full but they are supposed to be doing block offs of the platforms and do maintenance and adding to the exist platforms but that is only going to be for the new Halloween and Xmas shows they are going to do. . Due to the concern with guests visiting for the first times they are trying to work on doing a normal show and a holiday show to please both the tourists and the AP holders...we shall see - Dave 12328.4 #2 1:10AM

I got chills when I read this! I remember going to Disneyland & seeing the parade before its departure from Disneyland in the 90's- I loved it so much thst my mom bought me one of the lights from when they disassembled the floats! I still have it - DanilovesDisney

My source keep insisting that they are just rumors and nothing more! it may never see California again at least not in any near future. The strong wishful thinking of others keeps the rumor coming back around, with no real credibility behind the wishful thinking. - radiodisneytech
229.9 #1517 6:30AM

Rick, then original poster, and his sources are pretty accurate. He broke the news of Roger Rabbit two months before he made his appearance, so there may be some credibility to this. If he is wrong, however, I may pie him in the face. - Slotherini 1054.2 #151 7:23AM

Why was it "retired" specifically in Disneyland? I never understood that wording. So when the MSE leaves the other parks is it "retired"? No.
Could be because the Disney Company became greedy & sold the lights from the parade after it "retired".
I saw the MSE as a kid on Main St. Disneyland. I even saw the failed Light Magic as well that pushed MSE parade out of Disneyland.
Never saw it in DCA because I felt they were trying desperately to get ppl into DCA. Just bring it back to Disneyland & take your lumps.
I keep reading things like Disney do not do night parade & firework combo. I'm confused. I could've sworn they do this combo at Halloween & Christmas time right?
Just irritating to hear that there has to be drama surrounding this parade. With so much money that company makes, they can make each park their own version of the parade. I don't see Fantasmic getting packed up & go traveling. They actually made duplicates for their respected parks across their enterprise. - damman900

I heard about this a while ago. They closed at Disneyworld and I heard they were grunting it back to DL, but not until 2015. If whatyou say is true, then it looks like they are speeding up the timeline. - potatohead25

unForecast Crowd Prediction: This week is the unofficial start of the Spring Break crowds, so expect the parks to be a little more crowded than normal. Also with only one showing of Fantasmic during the week, expect FPs for the show to go quickly along with it being crowded around the Rivers of America close to showtime. Throughout the week, expect CIs to be in the high 60s to low 80s for Disneyland Park and in the low 70s to low 80s for DCA.

We have always noticed that Saturdays are better than Sundays! We always come on the weekend and say we want to leave at dinner time on Sunday, but always leave by 11-12 because there are so many people. We love Saturday!! - 1Princess3Princes

I agree. I think it has to do with most passes being blocked - PoohSizedGuy 18.5 #6892 11:53PM
